Sony Bravia ZX1

The Sony Bravia ZX1 measures 9.9mm at its slimmest point and combines a 1080p resolution with three screen size options: 42in, 46in and 52in. Its CD-case thickness was by using side-mounted LCDs instead of a traditional backlighting arrangement.

While its 100Hz refresh rate may not be the fastest currently available, the ZX1’s “Bravia 1080 Wireless” technology allows the TV to communicate wirelessly with an adaptor unit packing three HDMI ports.

Elsewhere on the set, you’ll find the PlayStation 3-style XMB user interface for on-screen menu navigation, and a USB port for importing still snaps that can be viewed in “Picture Frame Mode”.

Sony hasn’t announced a launch date for the ZX1, but prices will start at £2290 when it arrives.------------
